Santrofi & Booty Carrell

Santrofi (Ghana)

Even without an album out: they have already set the world on fire, freaking out audiences all over Europe. On their 2019 summer festival tour including Sines in Portugal, WOMAD in UK, Roskilde and WOMEX in Tampere. This young allstar band from Ghana brims with gifted musicians and energy on stage. The 8 piece collective is made up of a young generation of awarded musicians who have backed anyone in Ghana from Azonto sensation Sarkodie to Nigerian superstar 2 Face Idibia, but their passion isn’t local pop but Highlife. And their mission is to bring it back; not only to the world but also to Ghana, where the young generation has forgotten all about this great music. Santrofi’s debut album Alewanow brings you a new wave of fresh highlife rooted in the past with a knowledge of the future directly from the streets of Accra.
